I'm not getting one of these new-fangled color sets until they get the colors to look right.
What happened to Jack Benny? He sounded great on my wireless but I seen him on one of these new color gadgets at the Sears & Roebuck, I don't like it one bit.
That was a while back. I ain't never heard of this Digital HD stuff, is that new colors?
Back in my day we didn't go posting willy-nilly with all this nonsense. We demonstrated some, oh some big word that I forgot, but you know what I mean.
I've been meaning to get out to Oak Ridge to see if their museum's gotten better in the past 20 years.
I took my son there a little over 10 years ago, it seemed to be a bit improved from what it was over 20 yrs ago.
Dr. Johnson(sp?), one of my history instructors at UT wrote a book about OR, "City Behind the Fence" IIRC. Seemed very interesting and he was an excellent teacher. May be worth a browse if you can find it.
Well, yea, but after we have it done free how do we make money on it? Or are we supposed to keep that part a big secret until the "profit" step comes up? kinda like Redhat;-)
i'm on your side. instead of complaining about the companies not providing the service, perhaps we should form our own public database. granted we would need the help of many lawyers to do this.
Lawyer-schmoyer, it's just documents.
Now, all we have to do is form a scanner movement to scan the freebie copies of every legal document in the US, transmit to a distributed networked system and index on the fly.
Now that I have made it "easy" by invoking the favorite magic MBA phrases "just" and "all we have to do", you guys get to work;-)
Thanks for the clairification, but I am still not buying the submitters assertion that they should be allowed to buy the product outright if the owner does not wish to sell it.
Just the rights-of-the-owner side of me winning this arguement with myself, I guess.
What this does open up is the percieved market for competition. There should be nothing preventing others from doing the same thing and selling to the markets that Westlaw does not wish to service. Well, maybe nothing besides some NEC patents . . .
Quite seriously, I do not understand one bit the 'logic' of the person that submitted this story.
None of the sources cited prevent anybody from looking up and copying the paper copies, electronic versions from other sources, or anything else. They only limit the use of their own work!
How this gets morphed into "Westlaw has an electronic copy therefore I should have it free" is beyond me.

If you are sure that it is not just the shade of pale that you are used to, it must be a PAL conversion.
nobody cares about watching some crappy sitcom or the local news in high definition.
Well, besides me. But I would also LOVE to see Kiran Chetry and Ann Coulter in HD!
Then I found out that the only channels I can get with an indoor amplified antenna are Telemundo and Unavision
:(
Get OUT! I would be in heaven! Those are my FAVORITE channels and I have to have cable to get them! I live 25 mi. from DC
The key to the co-workers is in your post:
Dancing hispanic chicas in thongs are awesome PERIOD!
A lot you know, punk. We old farts watch The Ed Sullivan Show on our Dumonts and Philcos.
I watch the Cubs on the Dumont network. It seems like only yesterday when they won the Series . . .
Ooops, wrong rant . . .

It's not that simple
YES IT IS NERD!

Yea, Mr. Smartypants, spoiling MY fun on the Mitnick interview, did not come out with any complaints of funny questions this time did he!

Then again, a Bit cost two-bits then
Oh, your 60,000 range ID generation can be so snotty sometimes :)
So, you are saying the link, in the post you are responding to, is a hoax?
He wrote the letter to FDR that spawned the entire effort.
Yea, but that's just you :-)
But you can go look at the Graphite Reactor
Is that the X-10 facility? Cool! I haven't been there since HS!
Also, when I was in the Oak Ridge National Guard unit, we used to take the tanks (it was a Tank Co. then) to some Y-12 property for training.
I doubt that it's open anymore considering what's been happening these days. Probably can't even get close to the facility.
Huh?
Not sure where you are or what you know about. The museum we are talking about is in Oak Ridge, but nothing you said makes any sense.
They have not turned all of Anderson County, nor the city of Oak Ridge into a locked-down prison or anything.

Make that tomorrow! Today is only the 17th.
What happened to Sri Lanka? I thought the goal was to get as close to the equator as practical.
No, Sri Lanka was to get it as close to Arthur C. Clarke as possible.
Now that you have that all figured out, have at it ;-)
Apparently, in other spots in the thread there are alternatives, thus this no longer appears to be a big old scary mean "monopoly".

Hey! Thanks!
I always like to have the source of a hoax.
Now I am laughing my butt off at how Ted Koppel was so serious about it when he was reporting it!
no telling what they are running, I was just pointing out some conjecture and facts from the last time
I will add that publishing this probably compromises nothing.
